It's time to break up with my fat ... we've been friends way too long

I'm ready to rock (she says out loud, while inside she's scared shitless that she is going to fail once again). Today is the day I start counting calories and physically pushing myself to my limit ... and beyond. My goals are easily stated: Lose at least 35 pounds in 12 weeks and 116 pounds within a year. Unfortunately, making it happen isn't as easy.

I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
Over the past 13 years, I've tried -- and repeatedly failed -- at losing weight and sticking to an exercise routine. Oh sure, I'm always the big talker on Sunday about how I'm going to "start over" on Monday. But then Monday comes and my head's not in the right place, or I haven't stocked my frig and cupboards with the right food, or even MORE commonly, I just tell myself, "Why bother?" But I'm DONE with excuses -- the time has come to smash it up!



THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN ... stay tuned!!

    Great to see come other bloggers out there for the 12WBT challenge - blogging your journey can be really helpful - you just have to find a support crew!

    You first post sounds great though!

    Have you read the book Feel the Fear and do it anyway - great book and really helped me both when I was scared I was going to fail (again) and with the initial jump.

    Andrea: Thanks for the follow! I will certainly check out that book -- funny, but it kinda summarizes my day today. I was so apathetic about starting, but I did it anyway.
